Is it bad being a dork?

Someone recently asked me if I thought I was a loser. I really didn’t know exactly how to answer them. I mean, yeah, I like computers; I have an extensive Starting Lineup figurine collection; and I named all my toe nails; but does that make me a dork? Methinks not.


Now I suppose if I was an avid watcher of cartoons, owned a website, wore glasses, and I named my pet fish after a jazz great, then maybe I would be a dork. Wait a second, I did do that. Okay, so maybe I am a dork. But there are advantages to being a dork.

I am tired today. I slept a lot last night. But not as much as a friend of mine. She slept 12 and half hours last night. She went to bed 5:30 pm… I asked her if she was an infant. She was laughing so hard that she had to spit out her Spaghetti-O’s…. I hate Spaghetti-O’s.

The NLCS and ALCS always get in the way of my stories. 90210 and Futurama are being pre-empted. I hate that. And last night, due to “pre-game coverage,” Jeopardy was not on. I thought I was going to kill someone. Tonight, however, I have to write a narrative of a pilgrimage that I have taken recently. It’s going to suck. Also, I have to work on a project for Justice. Oh well.

Well, this is the last day of my weekend. I didn’t do much of anything the past two days, but they were days off. And when I take a day off, I take it off from everything. That’s I think everyone should do. I believe in the perpetual Sabbath. I know that sounds sacrilegious, so I am just kidding.

The Life and Death of our Tiny Friend…

I’m surprised, even at myself…

Once upon a time, and a galaxy far, far away, there lived a tiny little statue. His name, you ask? Well, it was Fritz Vladimir Sprocket. His parents named him a family name, but he typically went by a little nickname he made for himself- “Stony.” He stood in perpetual inanimation. Solid as a statue, no doubt. His parents fearful of a revolution on their home planet, Krypton, sent this little boy to Earth to seek refuge. Little did they know, they were sending their only dog to a watery grave. (Kryptonians called their offspring dogs. Strangely enough, their ‘dogs’ didn’t get Gravy Train.)
